Abaco In The Bahamas



Source

An excerpt from the Pannebecker message board at Rootsweb:

"Thomas Brown was not only enterprising, he was well placed with both the outgoing and incoming governors. Brown was initially awarded two hundred acres on Abaco in the Bahamas...". He would do better than that. Before his Rangers left Florida, some of them had decided to live as Brown's neighbors on Abaco."

"Near him [Captain Smith, on land called Spencer's Bight] were Captain Alexander C. Wylly, author of "The Sketch of the Siege of Savannah," Captain Donald Cameron...Conrad Pennybaker...".
